Why, you might ask? Because, this is an illustration I created based on my chapter book manuscript, HOW TO MILK A DINOCOW. And that particular manuscript was just sent off for the thirteenth time (having been rejected twelve times). You can read about feeling lucky to find out more.

Or if you want to have some fun, visit the dinocow website to see this little puppy in action. Don't forget to click on the milk bottle!

Oh Ian, this is still so great! I love the way it fits so many themes. But for me this is the perfect place to display it. The illustration leaves me wondering what will happen next. So, Ian, will you show us what happens next? Great work as always!

Hello, My Name Is: Ian

After graduating from the School of Visual Arts NYC (Pop 9 million), I took a job teaching middle school art at Roseboro-Salemburg NC (Pop 2,300).

After a bit, I decide to try my hand at climbing the corporate ladder. Although I enjoyed working for my 9 bosses and relating to Dilbert jokes, I felt something was missing. I decided to take a tiny, minuscule pay cut and go back to teaching.
